Configuring payment processors

Important Notice

As of OnSite version 2019.2, scheduled to release in early 2019, the Axia, Authorize.net, and Heartland payment gateways will no longer be supported due to an incompatibility caused by enhanced security requirements. This incompatibility could lead to vulnerabilities in your security, therefore we urge you to update to the latest version of OnSite and migrate to one of the following supported payment gateways in order to maintain the highest levels of security:-Cayan (USA only)-Tyro (Australia only)-Moneris (Canada only)

You can set up a maximum of fifteen payment methods in OnSite. Payment methods can be selected on invoices to record payments from customers. You can assign payment methods a type that determines whether extra information is collected on the Payment screen, for example, an authorization number for credit card payment types. Payment method types are also used for reports including the End of Day report and Payment reports.

The credit card type is also used when you process payments through an integrated payment terminal for credit and debit payments. The debit type used only if no integrated credit card processing is configured in OnSite, but debit payments made outside the software need to be recorded for reporting purposes.

Specifying a credit card as a payment method also sets it up to process internally through an authorized internal credit card processor if one is specified in the Credit Card Processing setup.

After you set up or change your credit card processor in OnSite we recommend that you run a minor transaction ($1) as a test, and then contact your credit card processing company to ensure that the transaction went through. If the payment processor offers live and sandbox modes, set it to live so that you can accept credit card payments for actual purchases.

Typically, account settling (payment processor deposits money into your account for your processed transactions) occurs daily. We recommend that you verify that account settling has occurred and that the deposited funds are accurate.

If you're using a debit card terminal that is associated to an integrated credit card processor in Lightspeed OnSite, you must define the debit Payment Method with the Credit Card Payment Type. If you define the Payment Method using a Payment Type other than Credit Card, the payment will not be processed in Lightspeed OnSite.

If you're using a debit card terminal that is not associated to an integrated credit card processor in Lightspeed OnSite, you can define the debit Payment Method with the Debit Card Payment Type. In this case, debit payments are processed outside of Lightspeed OnSite, and the selected Payment Type is used for reporting/accounting purposes only.

OnSite payment partners

Authorize.net (Note: this integration will be deprecated in early 2019)

NOTE: Sign into www.authorize.net and verify that your account is live before proceeding. You can set it to live in OnSite even if Authorize.net has initially set up your credit card processing account in test mode. Check OnSite and your Authorize.net account to make sure you're set to live before processing cards. Failure to do so can result in lost income.

To use OnSite with Tyro

Go to Tools > Setup > Basics > Payment Processing and choose Tyro. Enter the Merchant ID you got when you set up your Tyro account and click Save. You can also print a receipt with the Merchant and Terminal ID numbers from the Tyro Terminal by going to Menu > Settings > Terminal Info > OK.

Select the Banksys terminal you created, enter the Terminal ID that Tyro sent you when you created the account and click Save.

On each sales station that will access the terminal, go to File > Station Setup and click Terminals. Choose the terminal that you created, click Pair Terminal and click Save.

After you pair the terminal, go to the terminal and press the Menu button. Select Settings > Integrated EFTPOS > Authorise POS and enter the terminal admin password.

A message appears on the terminal that the integration key is sent. This prompts the terminal to send the key to Lightspeed. If the terminal does not offer an Integrated EFTPOS option, contact Tyro Customer Support at 1 300 966 639 and ask for integration to be enabled for your account. This can be the case for terminals that are operating in stand alone mode before being integrated with OnSite.

To use OnSite with Moneris

Important: By June 30th, 2018, Moneris will deploy an upgrade of their payment terminals firmware to version 11.20, compatible only with Lightspeed Onsite version 2018 2.0.1. Learn more about this change here.

For receipt printing with Moneris, you must have a Star TSP receipt printer connected to your OnSite Server Mac or a network-accessible Star TSP shared from your OnSite Server.

During the terminal setup, note of these three pieces of information:

Merchant ID (13-digit number beginning with 0030. If you have a 9-digit Merchant ID that starts with a 1, 2, or 4, add 0030 to the beginning of the number. For example, 123456789 should be 0030123456789.)
